Great pics, what was the name of the car in pics 6 and 7? Very slick looking.

I would've loved to jump in that Formula One.

Oh, man...her. All the other girls were "hot", but the Mazda girl is the perfect example of "Yamato Nadeshiko". I prefer beauties over hotties. But you can disagree!
When I saw her I was love. <3 <3

Heh, I agree. She's pretty, but more importantly her face gives off a warmth of character.

She's got that buy a Mazda smile "Even if you can't afford it, even if you don't like it, do it for me" smile.

Why am I looking at the Mazda page on another tab?... weird...

EDIT: Nevermind, wrong place to ask anyway

Of course, like any other big event in Japan, the right wingers were outside preaching Japanese nationalism, anti-Korean and anti-Chinese BS. Nobody was listening.

where's the hammer pants???

That is the final production model of the Lexus LFA. Only 500 will be made.
At $375,000 a piece, they may not be selling out soon. Who knows.
Probably a guy in Dubai will buy 20 of them.

Awesome, thanks hashiriya. Because of your pictures from TMS and my buddies pictures from SEMA, Im getting cared out... How was GT5 with a wheel? It may be the final straw on me getting a PS3. GT5, Logitech G25, surround sound, and a 15 foot projector screen...yep, might be the last straw.

I didn't want to wait in line to play that, but I have played GT5 on the exact same setup at Toyota's Tokyo headquarters. They have it in the lobby. It feels really nice. The force feeback on the steering wheel gives it a great feel. The only problem is that I was only limited to driving Toyotas. I wanted to schmob a new GT-R. OH well.


My ex-girlfriend is at SEMA right now (she is working there). She emails me pics from the show everyday. I told her "If you send me pics, I might get back with you." I felt bad for a second, but I quickly got over it.

Toyota has the MR2 though - aka the gokart that I can NEVER own less I will go into debt for speeding tickets. I mean seriously, Ive driven all manner of exotics and never got into trouble, but I got in a MR2 and I thought I was going 35 and I was going 60. It just seems to click with me.

The worst part about my buddy being there - he is a writer for Auto Trader Classic, is that he knows what cars I want and harasses me throughout the day. Jokes on him though, I just put in a bid for a Sunbeam Tiger (one of my most wanted cars of all time).

Edit:
He just called me about the Aptera...
